The pause we detest⏸

As human beings, we are so much in a hurry for results. We want speed, for things to happen in a twinkle of an eye.

We want to jump steps and just make things so snappy. 

But life at times throws lemon at us, we don't often get what we want. That is the traffic congestion or hold up on our ways.

This period of waiting is the period that makes us if you'll agree with me. Even with pressure pot, rice would have still stayed a couple of minute on the cooker before it gets done. Tell me, won't you be taken aback when you put rice on the fire and it gets done almost immediately? Maybe when technology reaches that stage though.

Almost everyone has had to wait at a period in their life. Just this afternoon, I waited for several minutes at the borehole to get water. Everybody in my school at this time knows water is a great challenge.

I shared the story of my admission into tertiary institution sometimes on this blog, I waited. Mheeen, it was an ugly experience.

How something was so urgent and it got delayed or we needed to wait for it. How people promised us something and the time we needed it, it wasn't coming forth.

A normal day to day activity nkor? When you're headed for the ATM or POS outlet to withdraw the last money in your account for lunch and it just wouldn't dispense or maybe you've got to join the long queue.

Times when you had expected things to fall in place, it could be finances, marital, academics but it just won't.

When we have mapped out how we wanted our lives to look like, the years we wanted to have done certain things, the day and time and then gbish! Not feasible again. ASUU has delayed and still delaying because of the fear of Covid19 second wave, which is causing a setback in some people's lives.

I don't know the kind of delay you're experiencing or what important thing you could be waiting for, all I want you to know is ''Don't give up.'' 

How do I even tell you to still be patient when I don't know how badly you need this thing? Well, I would tell you. Yea, just a little more patience. 

Not the first track of all these celebrities you see now made a hit. Ask them when they started singing and you'll hear ''I've been singing since I was 10 or so.'' 

Patience cooks stone tenderly as they say but maybe we've just lost the waiting culture nowadays. Niggas want their cars to fly even when there's hold up. All means to make sure nothing stops or pause their shine. Hmmmmmm. Who would like to be served raw meat? We all know a cooked seasoned meat would have tasted so well. Too much speed often make us eat raw meat which might even cause purging or stooling. 

If only we could have waited a little more because other means to dogde the wait may sometimes be dangerous.

Just like what I saw some days ago, it reads ''the most annoying thing about God is that He's never in a hurry'' and that's absolutely true. He knows you need this thing but not at the moment. Who would have waited for God when there are other means to get the same result? 

In a time of waiting, don't stop acknowledging God as He who can do all things. Not easy to do though but it works. 

In a time of waiting, don't transfer aggression. It's nobody's fault.

In a time of waiting, be your best self.

And you know what? Everything that is yours will never pass you by.

As we journey 2021 together, never stop believing and trusting God for all things.
